Although it is just a small toy, in every line and every carving of it, you can see the spirit of courage and strength that the uncle wants to pass on to his nephew.
"I'll show it to Bao Ge'er tomorrow."
Wen Zhu said with a smile.
Her face was filled with a happy smile and her eyes were filled with beautiful visions of the future.
Although they are Bao Ge'er's real relatives - grandfather and uncle, but due to their status and according to local customs, in order to avoid unnecessary gossip, they will not appear in public to participate in celebrations on certain days, but only silently express their love for their grandson or nephew in this way.
Now, "Our winery has been getting more and more lively recently. There's something you may not have heard about yet."
Hearing this, Wen Zhu, driven by curiosity, immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
With an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal, Hong Sheng slowly spoke, "A few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor secretly disguised himself as a commoner and paid Grandfather Jiang a visit. At that time, Grandfather Jiang happened to treat him with a bottle of 'Spring Mountain Dawn' that I had previously gifted him. Unexpectedly, the discerning Emperor actually loved the unique flavor of this wine. So, before leaving, Grandfather Jiang generously gave His Majesty all the remaining jars of 'Spring Mountain Dawn'. Even more exciting news is yet to come. It is said that after tasting this fine wine, the Emperor was so pleased that he specifically ordered the Imperial Household Department to place regular orders for this fine wine from us."
After hearing this, Wen Zhu almost held his breath and asked, "Are you serious? Will the royal family buy the wine we brew?"
Nodding excitedly to confirm the other party's guess, Hong Sheng continued, "That's right! As long as we deliver it on time and in the correct quantity as required, everything will be fine. Although the annual demand for the imperial palace isn't huge, it's of extraordinary significance to the entire business. After all, it means we can now call ourselves imperial merchants. As word spreads, more and more people are rushing to buy 'Chun Shan Xiao,' hoping to taste this fine wine, the emperor's choice, as soon as possible."
When he said this, his tone was full of pride and a sense of accomplishment.
Hearing this good news, Wen Zhu's mood became extremely cheerful.
You know, in Daliang, people who do business generally do not have a high status; but if there is royal approval and endorsement, the situation will change qualitatively.
Once they become one of the officially recognized suppliers, such a merchant family will naturally win more respect from the people.
"We must be more careful with the wine we give to the palace."
Wen Zhu warned seriously, his tone revealing an importance that could not be ignored.
"I see. Dad has been practically living at the winery lately, keeping an eye on the quality. He's been so busy every day."
Hong Sheng nodded, a glint of admiration and worry flashing in his eyes, and replied.
After saying this, Wen Zhu stood up and carefully picked out two sets of clothes from the closet. "Sister made some new clothes especially for you. Go inside and try them on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, please remember to tell me so I can help you make them fit."
She spoke gently, her voice full of encouragement and support.
"I already have a lot of clothes. I really don't need anything."
Faced with such care, Hong Sheng said a little embarrassedly, although he was actually very touched in his heart.
Seeing this, Wen Zhu gently pushed him and said, "Don't be shy, go in and try it!"
Her tone was full of the warmth and doting that a sister has for her brother.
Considering Hong Sheng's lively and active personality, it would be easy for his clothes to be worn out or damaged, so he obediently took the new clothes and went into the inner room to try them on.
When he changed his clothes and came out again, Wen Zhu immediately stepped forward and looked him up and down carefully, and carefully straightened out the uneven parts of Hong Sheng's body.
Even though he was tall himself, the young man standing in front of him was actually half a head taller than him.
After careful observation, it was found that this new dress fits Hong Sheng's current body shape very well.
Due to long periods of martial arts training in the sun, he has acquired a healthy tan; the darker blue-green fabric complements his skin very well, making him look more energetic.
"Now go try another one."
Seeing this result, a satisfied smile appeared on Wen Zhu's face, and then he made another suggestion in a low voice.
You should know that this other Songjiang fine cotton short shirt with simple and elegant colors is especially suitable for daily training.
Soon, Hong Sheng appeared in front of everyone wearing a simple and neat new shorts. Just at this moment, Jian Ji walked in holding a cute baby.
"The prince specifically told me to bring Master Bao over to play with everyone for a while."
Jane walked into the house with great strides, explaining the reason for his visit with a smile on his face.
Watching this scene, Wen Zhu couldn't help but guess that maybe Fu Yu cleverly arranged such a gathering because he knew that Hong Sheng missed Bao Ge'er very much, but was unable to meet him openly due to certain rules.
At this moment, the little one in her arms, who had just learned to speak, seemed to feel the warmth. She stretched out her arms and uttered two words in a baby voice: "Auntie...Auntie..."
Through such simple gestures and addresses, Wen Zhu understood that this meant that he wanted to be hugged.
He gently took the chubby and soft body and asked with concern: "Baby, have you eaten enough now?"
Every word was filled with love.
Baoger touched his round belly and nodded gently.
"The young master seems to have grown a little taller."
Hong Sheng walked forward and bowed respectfully to Baoger.
"Yes, he's walking more steadily now. Hongsheng, go get that wooden sword and let the young master play with it for a while."
Wen Zhu said with a smile, intending to let the two of them get closer.
Hongsheng turned around, took out a small wooden sword and handed it to Baoger.
Baoger's face suddenly lit up with smiles, he slid down from his nanny's arms, and began to imitate the adults dancing with swords. He made all kinds of poses in the yard, waving the wooden sword in his hand, looking very excited.
"How about I teach you a few moves?"
Hongsheng squatted down, looked at Baoger and asked kindly.
Bao Ge'er looked up at Hong Sheng, his eyes sparkling as he nodded and gave a simple answer: "Yeah!"
Hong Sheng held Baoger's little hand and began to teach him step by step how to hold the sword and how to make the swinging motion.
As time went by, a deep relationship gradually developed between the two.
